Q. My insurance agent said if I get proof
of passing a TEAM OREGON class that I can receive a discount
on my insurance. How do I get this?

more than two years (too late for a completion card replacement)
and less than five years since training, TEAM OREGON can provide
a letter of proof. There is a $15.00 fee for this letter. You
will need to provide us with the date of course, location, your
current mailing address, drivers license number, and your name
at the time you took the course. Submit your written request

Q. Which course is right for me, the BRT
or IRT?
A. The BRT is for beginning riders, and is our most popular
course. This course is designed for the novice rider with no
prior motorcycle experience. If you have your own motorcycle
(or you can use one of ours), are over 21 years old and have
some experience or are returning to the sport, the IRT is most
likely the right course for you. We provide motorcycles and
helmets for both the BRT and IRT courses.
Q. What is the difference between the RSP
and the ART course?
A. The RSP is a half day practice session for riders of all experience
levels looking to sharpen their cornering, braking and emergency
maneuvering skills under the helpful eye of a professional rider
training coach. Whether you are new to motorcycling or
have been riding for years, Rider Skills Practice will take
your skills to the next level.
The ART course is for experienced and endorsed riders who have
completed the BRT, IRT, or RSP. ART emphasizes the real-world
application of a variety of techniques. By incorporating more
than one corner into an exercise, students can work on smoothness,
judgment, and appropriate "lines" through a variety of corners.
This class is conducted on a go-cart track, but is not a high-speed,
racing-oriented class.
Q. The brochure lists two range times
for the BRT, A & B. How do I choose the one that works
best for me?
A. For courses at PCC, CCC-Salem, LBCC and LCC, group range assignments are made at the first classroom session.
There is no guarantee that you will get the assignment you want.
No exceptions. For all other locations, when you register
online or by phone you will select the class time you
prefer.
Q. What
if I am under 21 and need financial help?
A. Chemeketa Community College Foundation has a Scholarship
under Other Scholarships called the Alex Blanco Memorial
Scholarship. Students under 21 in the Salem area can
contact the CCC Foundation to get more information, (503)
399-6990 or online at
